After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

Fortunately, the elevator doors opened at that moment, and I hurriedly entered the elevator, pressing the elevator buttons a few times, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

Fortunately, my motorcycle wasn't bought with her money. I suppressed my anger and drove to the cemetery.

As soon as I parked the car, my phone rang. When I saw the contact on the screen, my eyes immediately turned cold.

"dad?"

A middle-aged man's voice, full of energy, came from the other end of the phone.

"Ye Qiu, it's been so long since you've been home. Come back today if you have some free time. Let's have a family reunion. I also have something to tell you."

I was used to my father's opening remarks, and after thinking for a moment, I agreed.

"understood."

After getting off the bus, I slowly walked past the tombs one by one, and finally stopped in front of a tombstone.

I stared at the photo on the tombstone, lost in thought for a long time, before forcing a smile. "Mom, I've come to see you."

I sat on the ground, looking at the kindly smiling woman in the photo, and couldn't help but tear up, wiping the photo.

"Mom, it's been so long since I came to see you. Are you angry with me? Don't be angry. I'll come to see you more often in the future."

"I'm sorry, Mom. I should have listened to you and married Jiang Yuwei. I regret it so much, so very much..." I choked out, "Mom, I was wrong..."

A year ago, when I wanted to marry Jiang Yuwei through a family-arranged marriage, only my mother objected.

She tried to persuade me for a long time, saying that regardless of gender, marrying someone you don't like is like entering the grave of marriage, and you will never be happy in this life.

She said I was the son she had raised with great difficulty, and she only hoped that I would live a peaceful and happy life, and that I would never follow in her footsteps.

Unfortunately, I was blinded by love at the time and didn't listen to her. I insisted on marrying Jiang Yuwei despite the obstacles, and even shamelessly said that I would definitely be happy. In the end, this is how I ended up.

Now I understand what my mother meant.

I chatted with my mother for a while, pouring out all the bitterness and pain of my past and present lives. I finally felt much better. Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind me.

I looked back and saw a man with disabilities in both legs sitting in a wheelchair waiting not far away.

He wore a casual shirt, and his skin, weathered by time, was slightly rough, with a light stubble on his face, but it couldn't hide his handsome features; instead, it made him even more charming as a mature man.

His eyes were filled with dejection, as if he had encountered something unpleasant. He stared straight at me, and his eyes suddenly reddened.

When I saw his face clearly, I was filled with shock...

That evening, I returned home to find a meal laid out on the table, its aroma filling the air. I looked up and saw three people gathered around the table, chatting warmly with smiles on their faces.

The smiling, somewhat overweight middle-aged man was my dad.

The middle-aged woman on the left, dressed in designer clothes and jewelry and looking very elegant, is my aunt.

On the right is the well-behaved boy chatting and laughing with them, my cousin Li Jingxiu.

Looking at them from this angle, they seem like a loving family of three, always harmonious and affectionate.

When Ye Zhenguo saw me return, he quickly waved to me.

"Ye Qiu is back. What are you standing there for? Your aunt and brother came to see you. Come and sit down. We're about to have dinner."

"Young master, why are your eyes swollen? I'll get two hot eggs and roll them around in your eyes." At this moment, the nanny, Wang Ma, quickly came over, looking at my eyes with a worried expression.

My father, however, was serving food to others.

Only when Wang Ma mentioned it did they notice that something was wrong with me.

Li Jingxiu glanced at me and said gloatingly, "Why are you crying like a stray dog? You look so pathetic."

"Could it be that you had a fight with Sister Yuwei? Cousin, take my advice. Marrying the daughter of the Jiang family is your blessing. You need to learn to be patient and not act like a spoiled young master."

In my past life, I endured everything to maintain our brotherhood, but I don't want to spoil him like that in this life.

I walked towards them, calmly sat down, and said coldly, "Jiang Yuwei is my wife, you should call her sister-in-law, right?"

"Sister Yuwei, Sister Yuwei, calling her so intimately, you have no sense of propriety at all. Do you want to climb up the social ladder?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately complained to my father:

"Uncle, what does my cousin mean by that? I've said so much for the harmony between him and his wife, and he actually thinks I'm trying to take their place?"

Ye Zhenguo's face immediately darkened, while my aunt stood up and pretended to be a peacemaker.

"Jingxiu, even if your cousin really angered President Jiang and was kicked out, you can't say that. You're brothers, so you should comfort your cousin and apologize to him right now!"

As she spoke, she kept glancing at my dad, clearly trying to stir up trouble and not trying to mediate at all.

I watched indifferently, a mocking smile playing on my lips.

Unfortunately, in my past life, I didn't realize how hypocritical she was. It wasn't until several years later that I found out Li Jingxiu wasn't my cousin at all, but my half-brother, and that my aunt had become his mistress.

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too; no wonder Li Jingxiu also wants to rise to power.

My mother was a joke in front of them. I couldn't stand it, so I used my internal strife with Jiang Yuwei to embezzle my father's company's assets, which ultimately led to bankruptcy.

After my father went bankrupt, this heartless mother and son ran away without showing him any mercy.

In my past life, I neither had the chance nor the ability to deal with them. In this life, I'll take them all down in one fell swoop.

Li Jingxiu naturally refused to apologize, saying, "My cousin scolded me, why should I apologize?"

Ye Zhenguo put down his chopsticks in dissatisfaction and looked at me.

"How can an older brother talk to his younger brother like that? Has he wasted his education?"

Li Jingxiu snorted and gave me a smug smile.

I didn't say anything, but I was very clear about my own situation. I was the only outsider in this family.

His gaze turned even colder. "Did you really have a fight with President Jiang?"

"No," I replied casually, picking up a piece of fish.

Ye Zhenguo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his face trembling with a jolt.

“Your aunt and brother are right. Given our family’s circumstances, it’s a huge blessing that you were able to marry Miss Jiang. You should cherish it.”

"Our family has gotten to where we are today entirely thanks to President Jiang's help, hasn't it?"

"You need to tone down your spoiled brat attitude, and try harder. Women are easy to coax, right?"

"Our company happens to have a business opportunity recently, but we're currently experiencing cash flow problems. You need to make sure you're happy with Ms. Jiang and persuade her to lend us the money first, understand?"
